commit 4b7d1efb51a529a1391e7326ef90cb51139d7eb6
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>

    Define and use a libm_alias_float macro.
    
    Fully supporting TS 18661-3 _FloatN / _FloatNx types in the cases
    where they have the same format as other supported types (in line with
    the principles described at
    <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-01/msg00333.html>) means
    adding a lot of function aliases to libm (and a few to libc).  float
    functions will have *f32 aliases, double functions will have *f32x and
    *f64 aliases, long double functions may have *f64x, *f128 or both
    aliases depending on the configuration, float128 functions have have
    *f64x aliases depending on the configuration.
    
    At present, most individual libm functions have their own weak_alias
    calls to define the public names for those functions.  For TS 18661-3
    support, it is desirable that functions not all need to duplicate the
    logic for which alias names to define.
    
    Thus, common macros for defining the public aliases to a libm function
    make sense.  In the double and long double cases, such macros will
    also help simplify existing code (with LONG_DOUBLE_COMPAT
    etc. conditionals), by eliminating existing conditionals and ldbl-opt
    / ldbl-64-128 wrappers (using the generated ldbl-compat-choose.h to
    allow a single macro definition to expand appropriately for each
    symbol depending on LONG_DOUBLE_COMPAT for that symbol).
    
    This patch starts the process of adding such macros with a
    straightforward case: a libm_alias_float macro, initially only used in
    the case of type-generic templates, to define aliases for float
    functions (currently just the *f public names, in future also *f32).
    Future patches are intended to add such macros for other types and to
    extend the cases in which they are used, with a view to as many places
    as possible using them before support for _FloatN / _FloatNx aliases
    is enabled.  (I think it's inevitable that some places doing
    architecture-specific things with aliases and symbol versioning may
    end up needing to replicate logic for the new aliases, but hopefully
    the number of such places can be kept to a minimum.)
    
    The libm_alias_float macro takes unsuffixed names for both the
    internal and public function names.  The need for unsuffixed public
    names is obvious, since such macros will end up defining multiple
    public names with different suffixes.  Unsuffixed internal names are
    because I expect the ldbl-128 functions to end up in a form that
    always defines *f128 names and sometimes also defines *l names - with
    the main internal names being e.g. __ieee754_<func>f128 (so many
    macros in float128_private.h can go away).  But __ieee754_<func>l
    aliases will still be needed for e.g. use from math/ complex
    functions, meaning the alias macro needs to see just __ieee754_<func>
    as internal name so it can create an alias based on that name.  Since
    libm_alias_float128 will thus need the unsuffixed internal name, it
    seems to make sense for all such macros to receive the unsuffixed
    name.
    
    Tested for x86_64.  Also tested with build-many-glibcs.py that
    installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch.
